Lieve Familie,
I love you
guys and miss you all very much.
It has been a humbling
week. A week full of gratitude, love, stress, testifying, spiritual
nourishment, struggle, and just pure joy. Of course there were many other
emotions felt during the week, but I think that is a good summary of how I
felt.
The stress
this week simply came because of the busy schedule, preparations, and trainings
that we were able to give.
Spiritual
nourishment came from teaching and testifying of the Divinity of Christ and the
reality of Him. Also came from General Conference; what a privilege it is to
listen to the Prophets of God and receive inspired council from them.
The struggle
came because that is just apart of life; your attitude is the only thing you
have control of in this life.
I feel
and have felt gratitude daily as I pray and think just about how blessed I am. ``And
now, I ask, what great blessings has he bestowed upon us? Can ye tell? ´´ (Alma
26:2) I invite you all to take the advice from Ammon and ask yourself what
great blessing have I received in my life. It brings you the joy, love, and
comfort that I have recently felt to know that someone (Heavenly Father) cares
about you.
I don’t really
have much to say this week just because the leaders of the church said it all
this last weekend. Uchtdorf always kills it. Henrying also. I definitely have
no favorite because they were all amazing. I was truly uplifted and inspired,
not only from their words they delivered to us, but the way they brought it. There
is a reason why they always give the best advice. I just know that the leaders
of the church truly are all called by God and knowing that brings such comfort
to me.
One thing that I have
learned on my mission and it was just confirmed to me again during Conference
is this; However hard it may be we cannot lower the standards of God or
ourselves just because the world expects us to do so. I hope we can all learn
that lesson also.
This last weekend has just kind of
left me speechless because I have never believed so strongly in my life before.
Everything is just becoming so real and I cannot deny it. Prayer is real. God
is real. The Gospel is real. Eternal families are real. Christ is real. Reality
brings clarity peeps.
Love you all and I keep you all
in my prayers. Have a great week and ENJOY to the End!
Love,
Big Dude
